Nazareth Farm Spring Break Alternative * Sunday, March 15-Saturday, March 21, 2020
Nazareth Farm in Center Point, WV is dedicated to addressing substandard housing in their region of Appalachia by providing home repair with the help of volunteers. The cornerstones of Community, Simplicity, Prayer, and Service are at the heart of their response to the needs of those around them and are central to their work in living out the gospel message. While in WV for the week we will have the opportunity to meet college students from other schools, to work on home repair projects, to meet directly with the people we are helping, to reflect on what we are doing in light of the gospel call and our own spirituality, and to enjoy the beauty of the Appalachian culture and landscape.
We can take 6 students along. We are asking each student to contribute $275 to the cost of the trip. This amount is due by November 15 and includes your participant fee for Nazareth Farm. In addition we will be doing some fundraising to help defray the cost of transportation to and from Nazareth Farm. All participants will be required to participate in both fund-raising and in at least three preparatory meetings prior to the trip, time and place to be determined.
If this opportunity is of interest to you, please fill out the form below and submit by November 13.
